Question: Does the General Conference have
official statements about ethical issues like abortion,
homosexuality, smoking, human gene therapy and cloning, care for
the dying, environment, AIDS, and alike?
Answer: Yes, special committees of experts
composed by representatives from all over the world have studied
several ethical issues and produced statements and guidelines on
the above mentioned topics and many other issues.
A copilation of these documents has been
published by the GC Communications Department in a 180 pages book
called "Statements, Guidelines & Other Documents."
Several of these documents have been translated
into different languages and should be available at your Union’s
Health Ministries Department. The English documents are also
available on the Internet at:

Together
with Dr. Harvey Elder, a specialist in AIDS from Loma Linda, we
have prepared a one-page three-folded flyer for free
distributation with concise facts about the cause and prevention
of AIDS. This is available in several languages and can be
downloaded (Click here).
